A Recommender System Model for Presentation Advisor Application Based on Multi-Tower Neural Network and Utility-Based Scoring

Delivering compelling presentations is a critical skill across academic, professional, and public domains—yet many presenters struggle with structuring content, maintaining visual consistency, and engaging their audience effectively. Existing tools offer isolated support for design or delivery but fail to promote long-term skill development. This paper presents a novel intelligent application, the Presentation Advisor application, powered by a personalized recommendation engine that goes beyond fixing slide content and visualization, enabling users to build presentation competence. The recommendation engine leverages a model based on hybrid multi-tower neural network architecture enhanced with temporal encoding, problem sequence modeling, and utility-based scoring to deliver adaptive context-aware feedback. Unlike current tools, the presented system analyzes user-submitted presentations to detect common issues and delivers curated educational content tailored to user preferences, presentation types, and audiences. The system also incorporates strategic cold-start mitigation, ensuring high-quality recommendations even for new users or unseen content. Comprehensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that the suggested model significantly outperforms content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, autoencoders, and reinforcement learning approaches across both accuracy and personalization metrics. By combining cutting-edge recommendation techniques with a pedagogical framework, the Presentation Advisor application enables users not only to improve individual presentations but to become consistently better presenters over time.

Abstract

Delivering compelling presentations is a critical skill across academic, professional, and public domains—yet many presenters struggle with structuring content, maintaining visual consistency, and engaging their audience effectively. Existing tools offer isolated support for design or delivery but fail to promote long-term skill development. This paper presents a novel intelligent application, the Presentation Advisor application, powered by a personalized recommendation engine that goes beyond fixing slide content and visualization, enabling users to build presentation competence. The recommendation engine leverages a model based on hybrid multi-tower neural network architecture enhanced with temporal encoding, problem sequence modeling, and utility-based scoring to deliver adaptive context-aware feedback. Unlike current tools, the presented system analyzes user-submitted presentations to detect common issues and delivers curated educational content tailored to user preferences, presentation types, and audiences. The system also incorporates strategic cold-start mitigation, ensuring high-quality recommendations even for new users or unseen content. Comprehensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that the suggested model significantly outperforms content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, autoencoders, and reinforcement learning approaches across both accuracy and personalization metrics. By combining cutting-edge recommendation techniques with a pedagogical framework, the Presentation Advisor application enables users not only to improve individual presentations but to become consistently better presenters over time.
